The rate at which finance mints extremely wealthy workers dwarfs the rate at which software does.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoI would bet on the opposite, at least since 2008.
- Kranar 4y agoDoesn't look like it dwarfs it. According to Forbes, 15% of billionaires are in finance, 12% are in fashion, 9% are in tech.
- sidlls 4y agoThe comparison would be more accurate with the relative sizes of each industry. Pretty sure there are more software engineers than people working in similarly skilled finance jobs.
- smabie 4y agoI think it's probably pretty pretty similar actually. I would say tech probably has worse median outcomes but better right tail outcomes than finance.
